A Moment To Remember; WinMock at Kinderton Ribbon Cutting (Part Two)

It started with an idea.   A lofty idea really, of how we could preserve and protect an old grand barn and fill it with life once again. 

But as we all know, ideas often remain just that… ideas.  To actually see a concept this grand become a reality, let’s just say it is quite a beautiful thing.  The hard work, clear vision and careful execution coupled with a community filled with gracious support were the key ingredients in this transformation. 

With us, has been a phenomenal group of community leaders from Davie County and the Town of Bermuda Run offering their expert guidance, insight and support along the way.

Of course we could not have done it without our renovation team from Windsor Commercial, West and Stem Architects, Miller Landscape Architecture and a whole slew of sub-contractors who made a tremendous difference along the way.

There is also a truly special group who we have had the honor to get to know over the past year or so.  The families of  past WinMock barn owners, the Williams family and the Bahnsons, along with William Burnette and The Hillsdale Group from Kinderton.

To have everyone come together, all in one room, for our ribbon cutting was incredibly special for us to say the least.

It truly is amazing what a community can build… with just a little vision and a lot of hard work.  A million thanks for all of your support.
